Public bug reported:
[Impact]
The HiSilicon D05 server provides a graphical display that you can view
remotely using a Java app connected to the BMC. While the system boots there,
and the GRUB-generated installer menu appears, the installer itself does not
have a driver to display there.
Currently this also requires manually adding 'console=tty0' to the
installer cmdline as, by default, the kernel will use a serial console.
[Test Case]
Boot installer media. Add "console=tty0" to the cmdline for the "Install Ubuntu
Server" option, boot.
Without this fix, the graphical console will remain blank - with it, you'll get
an installer screen.
[Regression Risk]
This adds a driver module that will only load if the associated hardware is
present.
